Talk:Thandie Newton

Not sure if you heard, Buckimion, but apparently everyone has been misspelling Mrs. Newton's name for a long time. It's actually spelled "Thandiwe". Curious Poker Chip (talk) 19:33, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm familiar with the issue, but, having done backflips with fandom for the last six months over Elliott Page on Family Guy, intend to quietly tiptoe away and hope this just dies. Buckimion (talk) 23:00, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that issue briefly while I was on Family Guy Wiki. Personally, I do not think you are transphobic for what you did on there (mostly because you never said you hated them and because that word has lost its meaning and impact due to overuse).

There has been a lot more off-Fandom in the way of discussion that I've been dragged kicking and screaming involved in. My argument was only over the credit and not a personal issue which was minor by comparison. Wookiepedia went full-on civil war over it (blocks removed and admins warned) and a task force was created by Fandom to ensure that all 'deadnames' are completely removed. We get a bit of a break on Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner because she has stated publicly that her achievements as Bruce shouldn't be changed. Likewise, they're still working out what to do about Ida Davis since she is fictional to begin with. Buckimion (talk) 00:50, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
